Colorado has a number of famous ridgeline traverses. The Sawtooth Ridge traverse links together the two 14ers Mount Evans and Mount Bierstadt. The heart of the ridge is mostly class 3 (with the ability to make it class 4 at times) and should not be taken lightly. Some travel with helmets, and alpine experience and route finding skills are a must.

This is an awesome traverse, but know the risks of alpine travel and do your homework before linking these two peaks together.
